Hammer horror
West Ham 3 Newcastle 1
Newcastle's
woes on the road continued in East London on Sunday afternoon as
they threw away an early lead to lose to a side that was previously
pointless from their home league games.
That's now eight winless Premier League away games for Eddie Howe's
side but they deserved precisely nothing from a disjointed and
listless performance that was as bad as anything seen in Howe's
tenure.
They even failed to take advantage of some big slices of luck in an
opening 45 minutes that could have seen the home side score more
than the two goals they were gifted.
A lengthy VAR intervention overturned a penalty award as Mailk
Thiaw's slight touch on the ball saw referee Rob Jones' check the
pitchside monitor and change his decision.
Jacob Murphy gave United the lead just 26 seconds after Jared Bowen
hit the inside of the post for the Hammers with the Newcastle winger
finishing smartly after being put through down the right.
But that was as good as it got for the green-clad Magpies and
although they stayed in front until the 35th minute after the
penalty award failed to give the visitors a jolt.
A lethargic display was duly punished when Nick Pope decided to
punch a cross he could have caught; Lucas Paqueta then hit a
speculative effort from 25 yards that the 'keeper could only push
into the net.
But worse was to follow when the Hammers marauded forward in first
half added time and Aaron Wan-Bissaka's cross into the middle was
deflected inside the near post by Sven Botman.
That
signalled three half-time changes by Howe with Will Osula replacing
Nick Woltemade, Jacob Ramsey coming on for Anthony Gordon and Fabian
Schar being swapped for the awful Emil Krafth.
But the Swede wasn't on his own and any of the starting eleven could
have been substituted, such was the woefulness of the opening
period.
It seemed impossible that things could get worse but despite
dominating possession, Newcastle created almost nothing after the
interval with crosses into the box rarely finding their target.
Harvey Barnes and Anthony Elanga were introduced, Murphy and Botman
making way but there was still very little threat on Alphonse
Areola's goal, one header from Osula going straight into the
'keeper's arms.
With United pushing forward they were inevitably vulnerable on the
break and in the final moments of the game, substitute Tomas Soucek
bundled the ball in for West Ham's third goal after Pope had saved
but was unable to gather the ball.
The defeat left Newcastle languishing in 13th position in the PL
table with 12 points from ten games a meagre return.
Everton could make that 14th if they beat the mackems in the Monday
night live TV game.

After the game Eddie Howe said:
“We were unrecognisable in some aspects of our game. We were
better in the second half but not great.
"It didn’t look like a Newcastle team. The body language, the
collective spirit. We weren’t where we needed to be mentally. We’ll
go away and learn from today. It could be a turning point that we
could work to our advantage.
On making three substitutions at half-time:
"I could have taken anyone off. It's very rare to feel that way.
I haven’t felt like that since I’ve been Newcastle manager. The team
needed shaking up.
"It’s a concern when you’re not where you want to be, because you're
always in a position where you're chasing results. We haven't hit
our rhythm in the Premier League, not consistently. We've had some
highs but today is a low. When you’re going from competition to
competition the focus changes quickly. That’s a challenge we have to
prepare for better."
Referee: Robert Jones - second Toon posting of the season for the
Merseyside whistler, having taken charge of our 0-0 draw at
Bournemouth and ignored a blatant shirt pull in the box on Nick
Woltemade.
VAR: Paul Howard.
Stats:
Newcastle have now failed to win any of the last eight away
games in the Premier League.
The Magpies suffered only their second defeat at this unloved
edifice of a sports stadium, having lost just one of the previous
eight; winning five times and drawing twice.
Ex-Magpie Callum Wilson has failed to score in any of his six
outings against Newcastle during his time as an opposition player
for West Ham and Bournemouth.

United's U18s rose to third in the table on Saturday, thanks a
deserved victory over Everton that ended a run of three successive
losses at this level to the Merseyside Blues.
The visitors were fortunate to escape a third minute attack that
ended with goalkeeper Douglass Lukjanciks clearing an effort from
his defender Lewis Evans from behind the line - something that the
match officials didn't spot.
Newcastle's opening goal wasn't long in arriving though; a neat
exchange of passes between right winger Mo Waddani and Matty Taylor
on the edge of the box setting up the former to convert with a low
shot in the ninth minute.
Magpies captain Jude Cogdon shot against the goal frame midway
through the opening half before Waddani tried to repay the
compliment by playing Taylor in - only for the visiting goalkeeper
to palm the shot away for a corner.
United's left winger Matheos Ferreira doubled the lead four minutes
after the interval before Alex O'Donovan added a third just after
the hour following a scramble in the box.
The Toffees did reduce the arrears on 71 minutes when Kean Wren
swept home a first-time effort from Shea Pita's right wing centre,
but the destination of the points was never in doubt and United
missed a couple of late half-chances to improve their goal
difference.
Team: Dowell, Bloomer, Durrant, Moran, Old, Cogdon, Waddani

Fulham then gained their revenge in October 1982, winning
both legs of a Second Round tie: 2-1 on Tyneside and then
2-0 on the banks of the Thames.

Youngsters advance
Newcastle U17s have progressed to the knockout stages of this season's
Premier League Cup,
with three wins from as many games seeing them win their group.
This is the second successive season that Newcastle have reached the
last eight of this competition, exiting at the hands of Manchester
United in 2024.

City, Liverpool, Southampton, West Bromwich Albion and West Ham.
News of the draw is awaited.
Old boy :
Defender sighted
Former Newcastle defender Jamal
Lewis is back in the game, signing a short-term contract at
Championship side Preston North End.
The 27 year-old became a free agent last summer when his Magpies
contract expired, having not played since his loan spell at
Brazilians Sao Paulo ended in November 2024.
Saturday saw him appear from the bench in the closing stages of
North End's 2-0 victory at Southampton.
Internationals:
Toon Teens in action
England and Scotland U17s are currently in European Championship
qualifying action in Scotland, both sides playing their second game
on Friday.
With Newcastle's George Mair in goal and midfielder Sam
Alabi captaining the side, the young Lions lost 0-1 to Lithuania
at Cumbernauld - a result that means they now cannot qualify for the
finals
Scotland and Magpies defender Oliver Goodbrand then led the
Scotland side beaten 0-2 by Sweden at Airdrie a short time later,
collecting a booking for his troubles.
Tuesday afternoon had seen England
and Scotland meet at Airdrie, the Scots winning that 1-0 with all
three young Magpies starting for their respective sides.
The third and final set of games on
Monday then sees England against Sweden and Scotland face
Lithuania.
Elsewhere, United's Lesecond Yeutembip is with
England U16s at the Football Federations Cup in the Turkish
city of Antalya.
The 15 year-old defender was in the starting line-up for their
opener on Thursday, England defeating Wales 5-1.
Saturday then saw England beaten 2-3 by Turkey, with the player know
as Les starting on the bench.

Out now from Pitch Publishing is the definitive biography of United icon, Bill
McCracken, penned by renowned Magpies club historian Paul Joannou.
The Belfast-born defender served Newcastle for 15 seasons,
winning three titles and one FA Cup while generating headlines
worldwide for his revolutionary offside tactic.
Bill's life in football then extended for over half a century in
managerial and scouting roles, included that of transfer advisor to
Magpies supremo Stan Seymour in the 1950s.

Born Or Died:
1888 Scott Duncan born, Dumbarton, Scotland. (1908-13)
Outside right who joined United from
his hometown club at a cost of £150, debuting in a
0-2 defeat at Everton in April 1908.
Known as "Archie", the highlight of his time
at Gallowgate was to make 14 appearances and score
twice in United's 1908/09 First Division Championship
winning season.
Glasgow Rangers paid £600 to take Duncan back to
Scotland in May 1913 and he made appearances in
wartime for Manchester United, Celtic and Partick
Thistle in addition to serving with the Royal
Engineers.
Post-war, Archie rejoined Dumbarton before ending his
playing career with Cowdenbeath in 1922. Entering
management with Hamilton Academical he then returned
to take charge of Cowdenbeath in 1925.
A second footballing career in England then saw Duncan
appointed Manchester United boss in 1932, leading the
Red Devils to the top flight in 1936.
Moving on to Ipswich Town in 1937, Archie took the
Suffolk club into the Football League for the first
time the following year and would remain at Portman
Road for another 20 years, taking the job of club
secretary in 1955.
Archie was living on his native Clydeside when his
death was recorded during October 1976.
1919 Death of Bobby
Templeton, 40.
(1903-04)
A victim of the nationwide influenza
epidemic.
1965 Neil Raymond McDonald born,
Willington Quay. (1982-88)
Right back/midfielder who made his
name at Wallsend Boys Club but signed for Carlisle as
a 14 year-old; Newcastle supposedly dithered over concluding a deal.
Bob Moncur was his first boss at Brunton Park, but
following his departure for Hearts and the arrival of Bob Stokoe, the young McDonald felt his chances of
advancement from the youth team were much reduced.
An approach from Newcastle at that point saw the 16
year-old return across the A69 after a tribunal agreed
£50K compensation.
A first team debut for United quicky followed, at home
to Barnsley in September 1982 and McDonald become a
regular choice, also being recognised by England U21s.
A £525K move to Everton came in 1988, with his
competitive debut for the Toffees coming in a 4-0 home
win over Newcastle.
Further moves later took him on to Oldham, Bolton and
Preston - although injury blighted his career after
leaving Boundary Park.
A move into coaching came at Deepdale as his playing
career wound down in 1998. Two year on and he returned
to Bolton under Sam Allardyce, later becoming reserve
team boss.
After five years on the staff at the Reebok, McDonald
made a switch to Crystal Palace in 2005 as Iain
Dowie's number two - having met his new gaffer when
the pair were on the UEFA Pro Licence course in 2004.
His next role was as boss of Carlisle,
but his sacking after the first game of his second
season remains an unexplained decision.
A short stint as manager of Östersunds
FK in Sweden then saw him successfully steer the side
clear of relegation, returning to England to become
assistant to former Magpie colleague Peter Jackson at
Lincoln City.
Within four months though McDonald had been tempted
away from Sincil Bank to become first team coach at
Leeds United.
He then teamed back up with Allardyce at Ewood
Park as part of the Blackburn Rovers backroom staff
and deputised for Allardyce for four games in November
2009 when the manager was off sick.
Allardyce was dismissed by Blackburn but sure enough,
McDonald got the call to join him at West Ham as once
again Big Sam reassembled his sizeable backroom staff.
Leaving Upton Park when Allardyce departed in May
2015, Neil was appointed manager of Blackpool the
following month.
The Tangerines were relegated from League One though,
McDonald leaving his post in May 2016 and taking the
role of assistant head coach at Hull City under Mike
Phelan.
Phelan was sacked by January and McDonald also left
the club before being appointed manager of Limerick in
May 2017.
By the following January Neil was back in England as
Scunthorpe United's assistant boss - a role he then
took up at Swindon Town ahead of the 2018/19 season.
However, that lasted barely six months before he and
Phil Brown were shown the door.
Next up for McDonald and Brown were Hyderabad in the
Indian Super League, but the pair were sacked in
January 2020 after barely four months in post.
He returned to the UK and was appointed assistant to
Matt Taylor at Walsall, taking temporary charge when
Taylor was sacked in February 2022.
A further reunion with Phil Brown at Barrow followed
in March 2022, but the pair departed two months
later after avoiding relegation from League Two.
McDonald was then appointed as assistant coach of
Indian side Bengaluru in June 2023 but it wasn't
long before he teamed back up with Phil Brown at
Kidderminster Harriers
The pair were in charge at Aggborough for 18 months
before Neil left to become first team coach at
Hartlepool United, as part of Simon Grayson's team
but left two months later. 
1989 Paul Farman born, North
Shields.
(2007)
Goalkeeper who joined United on a
short-term basis in late 2007, playing four games for
the U18s during an injury crisis.
After trials with MK Dons, Boston United and Gateshead,
Paul signed for Blyth Spartans before joining
Gateshead in 2009.
Moving on to Lincoln City (initially on loan) during
2011, Farman remained at Sincil Bank until 2018 -
making a temporary switch to Boston United during
2014.
Completing 200 appearances for the Imps, he helped
them return to the Football League in 2017, later
appearing for Stevenage, Carlisle
United and Barrow.
1994 Remi Streete born, Aylesbury.
(2007-15)
Towering central defender whose family
relocated to South Shields from the South East when he
was aged just two.
Attending Boldon School, Remi played for Boldon Colts
until the age of thirteen and rejected from the
mackems to join United.
Captaining the Magpies at U15, U16 and U17 level, his
U18 debut came against Crewe Alexandra in March 2010 -
aged just 15.
The son of ex-Wolves centre half Floyd
Streete, Remi was presented with the Jack Hixon Award
by Alan Shearer at the Sport Newcastle dinner in
2010.
A reserve bow came in a 3-4 loss at Bolton in
February 2011 and he agreed a three year professional deal
from on his 17th birthday.
An ankle injury restricted Streete's progress but he
collected Sport Newcastle's Wor Jackie award for promising
young talent in 2012.
Further fitness issues then limited Remie's
availability at reserve team level, although he was an
unused substitute for a 3-7 Premier League loss at
Arsenal in December 2012.
Senior team experience in 2013 saw him feature at Motherwell and St. Mirren in
pre-season.
Streete joined League One side Port Vale on loan in
October 2014 but was recalled as cover after just
three appearances.
Named on the bench for a trio of Magpies first
team fixtures without getting on, a
surprise loan move to Rangers followed, along with Haris
Vuckic, Gael Bigirimana, Shane Ferguson and Kevin
Mbabu.
Debuting in a 1-2 Scottish FA Cup defeat to Raith
Rovers he was forced off with a groin problem and
didn't play for Rangers again.
Released by United in Summer 2015, Remie returned to
Port Vale on a two-year deal.
A free agent when that expired following 60
senior games, he spent the entire 2017/18 season
sidelined, subsequently training with AFC Wimbledon,
Port Vale and Notts County without earning a
contract.
He retired from playing and set up a coaching and sports management company.

United went ahead through Hughie Gallacher who as the Daily Courier reporter
wrote, "took Lang's centre in delectable style and whipped it into the
net long before (goalkeeper) Davies could shape for the shot."
Future Newcastle manager George Martin netted twice to give Everton a 2-1
half time lead, before the Toffees forged ahead.
Gallacher's second rounded off the scoring, with the Courier concluding that, "Gallacher
was the pillar on which the United building stood. He is a marvel, cunning,
quick, an opportunist and a thinker."
1929 Meanwhile, United's reserve side were
facing Spennymoor United in a North Eastern League fixture at Gallowgate.
Debuting for the Magpies was inside forward Alfred Jones, who had been signed
from Lancaster City days earlier.
The 21 year-old proceeded to score three goals as the home side won 9-0.

summer.
 1968
Leicester City (h)
0-0 (0-0)
Division One
P17, 15pts, 12th/22
20,374
Terrible weather conditions saw the SJP crowd reduced from 35,000 in the
previous home game - and those that did brave the elements had little to
entertain them, with Peter Shilton in the Foxes goal equal to anything we
created.
1968 no such problems for the reserves, who scored three times
without reply en route to winning their fourth consecutive game.
Alan Duffy, Gordon Hindson and an OG netted in an emphatic 3-0 success at
Blackpool.

West(30)

Referee Trelford Mills returned to a chorus of boo's from the Gallowgate
faithful, and as usual controversy followed close behind.
Ex-mackem Colin West opened the scoring and then Mills gave United a dubious
penalty that Peter Beardsley sent wide. Gazza then hit a curling shot past Tony
Coton in the Hornets goal with three minutes left.
George Reilly headed home in the last minute but Mills ruled he had pushed his
way to the ball and the goal didn't stand. Cue the final whistle and another
round of booing for the man in black.
1988 Former United favourite Bobby
Moncur was confirmed as boss of Hartlepool, having been caretaker manager.

This defeat at the County Ground marked a debut for Alan Thompson, as
substitute.
Once future Magpies coach Colin Calderwood had netted the result was never in
doubt, and Gavin Peacock hit an undeserved consolation in the last minute,
immediately after Town had gone two up.
Heavy-handed policing broke up a conga on the away terrace as the travelling
contingent organised entertainment to compensate for the lack of any from the
players.

1998 In an address to the Oxford Union, Newcastle's John Barnes spoke
about his hope to become a top-class manager following his imminent retirement
as a player. However, he made no reference to becoming a fifth-rate TV
anchorman....
2003 Another entry for the Sir Bobby Robson quotes book: in the aftermath
of a home game against Aston Villa the previous day, the then-Newcastle boss
commented:
"We've just lost
a match we should have just won, but there's nothing wrong with our football,
nothing wrong with our enthusiasm, nothing wrong with our commitment, we're just
missing chances."
The final score? 1-1.

Game 2
Luque(37)
16,904
In the midst of a shocking season, the biggest shock of all came in Sicily
when an under strength United beat the Serie A joint leaders on their own
ground.
Albert Luque scored the goal, but the hero was
undoubtedly 18-year old debutant keeper Tim Krul, who made several outstanding
saves to keep a memorable clean sheet.
Although the Italians missed a few decent
chances, another makeshift defence shut out the free-scoring hosts to make
qualification from the group stages a near certainty.
The goal was a memorable header for our Spanish
flop but in truth, the quality of the cross from James Milner was such that even
Luque couldn't miss.
Andy Carroll made his first team bow as a 90th minute replacement for Nobby
Solano.

the end of Yohan Cabaye's superb free kick and headed home.
Alan Pardew's side then sealed only for their second home win in five attempts

Having
unexpectedly won at Spurs earlier in the season, Newcastle returned to the

Defensive pair Ciaran Clark and Federico Fernandez headed them into a deserved
two-goal lead and Jonjo Shelvey's free kick looked to have wrapped up the
victory.
However, late goals from Fabien Balbuena's and Robert Snodgrass made for a
nervous finale, Magpie substitute Andy Carroll facing his old team as an extra
